METHOD FOR DIAGNOSING OR MONITORING INFECTION, ANTIBODIES, USES, PEPTIDE FRAGMENT AND METHOD FOR GENERATING AN ANTIBODY THAT SPECIFICALLY LINKS TO MAP P900

摘要

a method to diagnose or monitor mycobacterium avium infection subspecies paratuberculosis (map), whose method comprises detecting the presence of the polypeptide (map p900) encoded by the is900 positive filament, or a fragment thereof, in a sample of an individual, in that map p900, or a fragment thereof, is detected using an antibody, or an antigen binding fragment thereof, which binds to map p900.
